Time to add a new section

Since I found the Roccaforte I figured I could add a “gaming workseat” section. It’s on the right side.

So it’s not a chair but we can get it in Canada

Found this at the same time I found the chair. I does have potential. My concern about sticking with the desk setup is I don’t get the pedals up off the floor and into a more natural driving position.

Roccaforte Gaming Desk $399.99 Can

A seat we can get in Canada! Easy! But it might suck

I found this at Costco. Not exactly what I’m shopping for. Plus I’m not impressed with the way Costco has renamed it for Canada. In the states it’s known as the Pyramat Wireless PC Gaming Chair 2.1. And the Amazon reviews aren’t great.

Jimmy PC Gaming Chair 2.1 $269.99 Can

My shopping list

So here’s the seats I’m considering:

Gameracer: $499 US dol

Playseat: $340.84 Can dol.

Obutto Ozone: $289 US dol

Texas Sim..not quite there yet

I sent an email to Texas Sim asking about shipping details as well as if there is a need to pre-order a unit. Email got bounced. That's not giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Obutto Ozone has responded

Got an email yesterday from Chris at Obbuto. He apologized for taking a while to respond and went on to describe some exciting new things happening with the Ozone. I guess the biggest news is he has secured a North American distributor. Texas Sim Racing will the place to get the Ozone.

Still shopping

No purchase yet. I did exchange emails with a Playseat retailer. I asked when they would have the LCD monitor stand available in Canada. Response was it will be here in July. Price? $199 !!!
I asked why the price was so hi and was told shipping costs have skyrocketed.

Obutto Ozone...anyone home

So this is what I thought would be the best rig. But so far 2 emails and no answer. And no other contact info..just email addy's.
His internet marketing has a long way to go to match his great racing game rigs

FIrst Post..Why I'm making this blog

I'm a sim racer. I used to be hardcore Papy Nascar series. Then I fell off that wagon. A few years ago I found the GTR series by Simbin. Then I got a G25 wheel right after they came out. I tried to build my own racing/computing chair setup but it failed. Now I want to purchase one.
But going thru all of the models on the web is a royal pain. I can't find one comprehensive list of models, prices, features and availablilty.
So my goal here is to provide links to as many racing chair/wheel holder/cockpits that I can find. I'll try and sprinkile in as much of my own info as I can along the way.
Naturally being Canadian I will have a heavy focus on items that we can actually obtain easily in Canada. And at the moment that list is pretty darn short!
